It might sound like a
no-brainer, but fragile items need extra care while storing. Whether
you are storing them at home or at a NY storage facility, here are a
few important things that you must keep in mind to ensure their
safety –

Smart packing of fragile
items will ensure that they remain intact and are not damaged.
Various items such as antiques, glassware, paintings, table tops,
glass souvenirs and expensive crockery must be carefully packed in a
bubble wrap, taped and secured in sturdy boxes.

Do not leave any empty
space when packing fragile items. Leaving space between the fragile
item and other surfaces may result in breakage or scratching. It is
recommended to use newspaper to wrap the cups or bowls before storing
them.

Do not forget to label
the boxes containing fragile items as ‘FRAGILE’ and ensure that
you keep them on a solid ground with nothing putting a weight over
them.

By keeping these
important points in mind, you can ensure that your precious fragile
items remain intact and do not break.
